Education
Never before has the environment around education catering been so pioneering.
Who would have thought that of all the differing categories of catering that education would prove to be the most dynamic, arguably even more so than the restaurant sector.
An evolutionary demand for more care of vulnerable youth has led to increasing legislation from government.
Meanwhile, for reasons it seems that no one understands, the prevalence of allergies becomes more widespread, particularly amongst the young. Adding to these circumstances, a youthful enthusiasm by school pupils for the environment and we have a cocktail of change and demand that today’s education caterers have to cope with.
For caterers working in further and higher education, competition from
the High Street is fierce. Young adults demand choice at affordable prices
and they expect your offering to be up-to-date with the latest food trends.
We can help with street food concepts, world cuisine and meal deals to
keep your customers coming back for more.
Similarly, for Early Years caterers, we can help with planning the weekly nutritional intake to ensure everything children eat is of the best quality and, most importantly, enjoyable.
